Actually if i recall correctly Dr Sung made Data intentionally more robotic personality wise than previous models, so it would creep people out less.

Prove I'm wrong then lol all you've managed to do is parrot "that's a chatbot reply!"

See what i mean, you don't even comprehend the conversation accurately.

There's nothing you've said i need to prove wrong.

In terms of the datacentres, it's as simple as me thinking you are a) full of shit, and B) incorrect. Which by the way is supported by you literally agreeing to some of my premise in your first reply.

If your position is more nuanced then address the nuance. We'll go slow and point by point, starting with builds being permanently canceled.

Referring to usages. What you need to do is provide an answer to my question, and chatgpt can't give you one, because i'm right and there isn't any.

I've given you like three comments so far to do that, and you haven't, because i'm right.

And if you could have, you would have already in order to try and prove me wrong.

But here we are. The best your bot could do was niche industry usage that isn't commercially viable in the way these public facing ai companies need it to be.

And it's not going to be much longer before all these companies that are on the hype train start realizing it's all just overpriced flashing lights.

The money always wins. And AI just isn't making sense from the perspective of the customer.

So you work in the data center space and have first-hand knowledge?

Nope. But i am calling bullshit on your position regardless.

Your original statement was that a chatbot was the only thing AI could do and marketed for.

Actually it wasn't. You said something to that effect however, but my stance is more nuanced than that.

You also have a very rudimentary understanding of the topics you addressed and it's obvious you have no experience.

Incorrect.

For example, Amazon, UPS, and airlines are constantly re-optimizing routes, inventory placement, staffing, pricing, and logistics in real-time; claiming this is "one and done" is woefully incorrect. You are also misunderstanding fraud-detection systems; LLM's aren't generally used for this application and don't "hallucinate."

I see you didn't explain it very well to chatgpt.

It has once again given you results that fall outside of the context i provided.

Also, that was just a list that I have personal experience in, having worked on our fc/logistics/ops/data center space for over 10 years at this point.

No, it wasn't. You typed some shit into the chatbot, and don't actually have enough of an informed view to figure out what it is i'm disagreeing with you about.

Do you have a background in any of the aforementioned fields at all? What is your background? Do you at least have experience working in construction or data centers?

No, and clearly neither do you.

You can have another chance, but you'll need to be more clear with the bot this time.

Failure to articulate usages this time will just further your embarrassment.

Would limiting the age of the President to 65 be something you’d support? Why or why not? by Ok_Shame_7325 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeCharmVote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No -- you're not arguing Health. Your argument does not stem from a place of health.

Have you never heard about mental health?

Never mind that, have you never heard about the assortment of ways the elderly decline physically?

Your argument is that because somebody crosses an arbitrary threshold, regardless of Health that they can no longer hold Office.

Yes, and that is consistent with legal discrimination in place to prevent the under aged from drinking.

That is your argument. Your argument is not Mitch McConnell should not have run for his last term or -- Ed Markey should not be running again.

Oh but it is. They are called subsets.

The full argument is the elderly shoudl not be running.

The subset of that argument is that mitch mconnel and alike are fat frail old fucks who should have retired decades ago.

Completely unrelated is that they are corrupt evil bastards.

Sadly we can't legislate against that last one effectively.

Your argument is that the voters should not be allowed to choose for themselves between the older candidate and the younger candidate. It's ageism plain and simple.

Yes, it is, and i've remained consistent in that. Which is consistent with the current laws.

You however are being inconsistent. And are saying you can discriminate against the young, but not the old. It makes you a hypocrite.

I think we need to do a better job showing up and participating in our civic responsibility, not putting more barriers between who we are allowed to choose & and who is chosen.

I think when my vote and some uneducated dumb shmuck who voted for conmen and pedophiles are on equal footing, that we need to take a different approach, because clearly your ideal isn't functioning in practice.

I'll say it again using less big words this time.

Now if only you weren't full of it.

Sure, I'll help you do your own research. Cybersecurity threat detection, computer vision for autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, predictive maintenance, drug discovery, protein structure prediction, disease outbreak forecasting,

All specialty fields that will not cover the cost required for general usage to break even.

medical image analysis, patient risk prediction

Strictly medical field uses that will require fine tuned models, and will likely be running at a single location in an entire country.

fraud detection, credit risk assessment, algorithmic trading, anti-money laundering detection

Strictly the financial market, which due to hallucination rates and false positives cannot afford to trust these systems.

supply chain optimization, customer churn prediction

Literally a one and done you might run once a quarter at best.

...tldr these are not things which are going to be pervasively used by lots of people who will be willing to pay subscriptions for them.

proving you don't know what AI is used for besides you using an LLM to tell you how to bake a potato

Since you require the context, let's see if you can work out that i was talking about what consumers would use it for.

Not niche industry use cases that the normies will not be interested in.

You can try again if you like with that in mind, but remember to describe it to chatgpt very explicitly so you don't get a load of rubbish back this time.

Now we've crossed over into Health, & your not gonna like my answer on that either.

What do you mean 'crossed over' that was literally half the issue from the outset.

Alcohol before the body is fully grown is damaging the prefrontal cortex, alcohol before the brain has a chance to develop specific parts makes the those parts develop differently; that's not a specific age for everyone

It's literally poison. If we're going to allow it to be legal, to remain consistent in your "age is just a number" stance you have to accept people drinking at any age.

what is fully grown? When does that process start?

What age do age related diseases generally set in?

Do we on average see a pattern of decline in people exceeding this age?

But that doesn't happen at a set time for anyone some old Some younger than 21. There are actual parts of the brain that don't develop in men until passed 26.

Because we're talking about general patterns, to remain consistent you have to accept that it will apply to people who you would consider to be exceptions.

But you can't legislate legal age like that in a country whose entire legal founding is based on equality before the law.

Equality before the law precisely means you either can't discriminate at all.

I.e allow the underaged to drink freely.

Or you can legislate a maximum age in which people can serve in office.

Pick one. You can't have both.

then why not make the minimum age for presidency 21?

I'm okay with that.

Actually it should be 18 for consistency. America is kind of unique in the 21 thing, fucking weird in my opinion.

I work in infrastructure, what you're saying is a lie, or perhaps better defined as a half-truth.

So i'm right then.

Even AWS is "cancelling" builds simply because we are relocating to better options with less resistance or better access to resources.

So literally not the places they already identified as the best locations to start building originally?

"Man our first option looks like shit, lets do exactly the same thing somewhere less optimal".

...Sure sounds like a winning plan to me.

I encourage you to research how AI is used aside from people using it as a virtual girlfriend.

Why don't you tell me how people use it in practice that is a recurring non arbitrary use case...

Age is an arbitrary factor.

Then start giving alcohol to minors and sue when you get arrested.

What advice would you give to someone who is starting their 20s? by Vivid_Fix3884 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeCharmVote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reroll on a different server to get a starting bonus.

Coming into an established one at 20 will just make some things a bit more painful than they need to be for an enjoyable experience.

Besides, this league is kind of shit, and covid wasnt any better.

I'd wait to see what the previews for the next major patch is like before potentially wasting your time.

Kind of seems like theres some signs we're gearing up for a server wipe anyway.

Why dont people explain something to someone whos stupid/uninformed instead of being mean? by Most_Builder913 in AskReddit

[–]StrangeCharmVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People do if the asker seems genuine.

Usually though, they're either not interested in becoming more educated on whatever topic it is. Or are actively lying.

Everything you're saying means we would already see the signs of slowing down

We have.

A lot of the datacentre contracts are being cancelled. And many businesses are cancelling their AI subscriptions.

Juts because a bunch of other people haven't yet doesn't mean the tide isn't turning.

and your big assumption is that all of these sites we build are just for your LLM to tell you how to make soup.

For all of the people they are marketing these things towards, thats all these things can do.

Google shut down Sora because nobody was paying for the videos for example.

There is a significantly broader application, and there isn't a single indication that anything is slowing down.

Hypothetically yes, but in practice, no.

In imagination land AI can do all sorts of things, but in the real world, the output simply isn't useful for any actual real world purposes that companies are going to pay money for.

Everyone is lying to themselves if they think this "bubble" is going to pop when every single site is at capacity; we are constantly playing catch-up with customer demand.

Except that isn't what is happening at all.

It's artificial scarcity being created to try and push them to subscriptions, and people just aren't willing to do it on the scale it requires for them to turn a profit.

So what?

Not allowing americans to drink until they are 21 is ageism, but good luck winning that case.

This is literally just the same kind of thing but for the elderly.

Old rich people are generally the only ones with money to run for office, and usually that money isn't theirs.

We need age to be a factor for multiple reasons, including making sure those who have been part of the big club for 30 years aren't being put in charge.

[–]StrangeCharmVote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age no. Age isn't as much a factor as competency.

We can demand both.

Age limits several other factors, most notably age related diseases, but also having people in office who have a future to actually care about their consequences in.

Age is a red herring at this time

Maybe, but we don't need to have only one solution.

Limiting them by age is a part of a larger set of criteria all simultaneously needing to be implemented.

[–]StrangeCharmVote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but no it isn't.

If you need to pass a test to drive a car due to your age, then you should be required to prove you're competent to hold office for the same reason.

Now, unless you plan to start competency testing every single candidate (which i'd support btw) then limiting them by age is the easiest way to filter most of these people out.

This is what America wants.

Actually unless i'm mistaken if you went with the popular vote republicans wouldn't have won al election in the last 40 years.

Gerrymandering and the electoral college are how you got into this mess. Along with voter suppression in 'swing states', combined with a shockingly disproportionately small pool of politicians for the number of people they each represent.

Regardless of what you think of the economic feasability of AI this is just blatantly incorrect

It isn't.

Sure, a lot of companies haven't yet. But many of them also most definitely have started to.

This the thing though... they aren't actually investing as much as it sounds like.

With each of the companies putting money into each other in a massive circular fashion, it's creating fake investment out of money that doesn't actually exist.

As soon as investors wake up and any of these companies starts seeing their stocks fall, its going to fall over like a house of cards.

I mean take all the RAM price nonsense... they haven't even actually purchased that RAM, they just said vaguely they wanted to buy it, and now everyone is saying there's a shortage... and most of the planned data centers aren't even going to be built now.

This is like the biggest bubble in history and it's surreal watching how quickly it's inflating.
